Les élèves,
As we approach the winter holidays, I want to remind you that it is extremely important to stay on task during class. Today was particularly challenging; perhaps half the kids in each science class got only as far as writing a title for their story in the entire 45 minute science block, despite repeated reminders, and separating groups.
If you do not use class time wisely, you will have far more homework than necessary, and you will need to complete the work without the support and feedback of your teachers; we will not add extra classes for you to complete your work if this is the case. However, if you work hard in the time we give you, and we can see that you still need extra time, we will be much more willing to change due dates to accomodate this.
Keep in mind that we give you class time so that we can be there to help you with your work. I am not the only teacher who has noticed that you as a group have become more chatty, and less productive during class time, so it is up to each individual to decide to change this.
"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit." Aristotle
Upcoming due dates for my classes:
Science story on the digestive system: due Monday December 13th
English Poetry Project: due Tuesday January 4th
